Giants cut Josh Freeman

(5/30/14) The Giants announced the release of quarterback Josh Freeman on Friday. He was signed in late April.

The move leaves the Giants with two backup passers behind Eli Manning: Ryan Nassib and Curtis Painter. Both have a much-improved chance on making the team with Freeman out of the picture.

Freeman was cut early into the 2013 season by the Buccaneers after leading them to an 0-3 start. He was signed by the Vikings, only to play in just one game for them. He totaled 761 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions last year.

Giants to bring back Curtis Painter

Painter will compete for a roster spot behind Eli Manning and Ryan Nassib. In 2013, Painter was 8 of 16 passing for 57 yards and two interceptions in mop-up duty.

(12/15/13) Giants quarterback Curtis Painter got into a game for the second time this season during a 23-0 loss Week 15 vs. Seattle. Painter replaced Eli Manning on the final drive, as Manning was done after throwing his fifth interception.

Painter actually played well on the last drive, completing 4 of 4 passes for 30 yards. He was sacked once.

Curtis Painter will compete for a roster spot for the Giants this season as a reserve quarterback. Even if he makes the final roster he would have minimal Fantasy value. Ignore him in all formats on Draft Day.
